Film Review: ‘Clown in a Cornfield’ is a Slasher That Gives You Exactly What it Promises
There is very little burying of the lede with Clown in a Cornfield. You know exactly what you’re being offered, while the filmmaker knows exactly what to deliver. Now, is the final product anything to go wild over? No. At the same time, is it done a bit better than you might expect? It sure […] More

Film Review: ‘Friendship’ Sees Tim Robinson and His Particular Brand of Hilarious Insanity at Feature Length
You almost immediately know if the humor of Tim Robinson is up your alley or not. Whether it’s through I Think You Should Leave or elsewhere, Robinson presents like no one else. Personally, I find him hilarious and strange, in equal measure. Watching him, especially here in Friendship, there’s this alien quality to him that […] More

Film Review: ‘Sharp Corner’ Sees Car Accidents Driving Ben Foster Over the Edge
I’ll watch Ben Foster in anything. I find him to be one of the more compelling and underrated actors in the business. So, when there’s a film that features Foster playing a different type of a role, as well as one where he gets to fall apart? I’m very much seated. Sharp Corner gives us […] More

Film Review: Nicolas Cage is ‘The Surfer’ in a Beach Set Psychological Thriller
Give Nicolas Cage even a little bit to chew on and he’ll make a meal out of it. We’ve known this for years now, and yet, it still is just as enjoyable to bear witness to. The films vary in terms of quality, to be sure, but when Cage goes for it, he goes for […] More

Film Review: ‘Thunderbolts*’ is a Marvel Antihero Adventure with Humor But Also Some Emotional Weight
The Marvel Cinematic Universe needed this. The MCU has never been seen as less important or essential to film culture than currently, with a lot of that being self-inflicted wounds. Their upcoming Fantastic Four movie is somewhat make or break for Marvel, so the initial thought might be to dismiss Thunderbolts* as an also-ran. That […] More

Film Review: ‘The Legend of Ochi’ is a Visually Captivating Fantasy with a Handcrafted Feel
It’s hard to watch The Legend of Ochi and not come away very impressed by its production value. For a relatively tiny sum of money, the film presents a fantastical version of the 1980s that looks closer to the 1880s at times. Plus, there’s a clever and cuddly little critter at the center of the […] More

Film Review: ‘The Accountant 2’ Improves on an Already Strong Foundation to Make a Terrific Action Sequel with Amped Up Comedy
Back in 2016, The Accountant debuted as a slightly odd duck of a movie. It’s a slightly high concept shoot em up at its core that has Ben Affleck in hero mode as well as serious actor mode. The mixture worked because of Affleck’s commitment to the dramatic aspects, as opposed to simply the action ones. […] More

Film Review: ‘Long Lonesome Highway: The Story of Michael Parks’ is a Lovely Tribute to a Criminally Underrated Actor
Michael Parks should have been a name people mentioned in the same breath as Dennis Hopper, or any other intense yet absurdly talented actor of that generation. The fact that he himself made his lack of stardom a joke is amusing, sure, but also frustrating. Parks himself joked about it once while being interviewed by […] More

Film Review: ‘Sinners’ is a Bloody, Horny, and Musically Sumptuous Horror Epic That Manages to Be the First Great Blockbuster of 2025
Okay, listen up folks. For anyone who ever complains that Hollywood never does anything original, Sinners is for you.

First dates can be rife with stress. After all, putting yourself out there can be scary. That’s just for us regular folk, too. Imagine if there were actual life and death stakes, not just for a stranger, but for those you love as well? That’s the hook of Drop, a thriller with whodunit elements that […] More
